LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Malawi Police Service (MPS) in Lilongwe are keeping in custody Egnat Katengeza on suspicion of murdering her biological sister Agnes Katengeza.

Egnat has therefore has been formally charged with murder.

Lilongwe Police spokesperson Hastings Chigalu told Times 360 Malawi that Egnat is currently being held on remand.

On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, the Police disclosed the arrest of Egnat, who is suspected of being a master conspirator in a murder suspected to be financially motivated.

Egnat’s arrest follows the December arrest of Amos Katengeza, 27, the stepbrother of the late Katengeza who according to Chigalu, named Egnat as the main conspirator of the murder.

However, police only interviewed and released Egnat at that time to allow for further investigations.

“Since then, detectives have worked tirelessly, uncovering critical evidence that links Egnat directly to the murder,” Chigalu said.
